Vurnon Anita And Shola Ameobi Start

1 Dannyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:07 PM

Shola is probably a direct replacement for Ba.
AP said they had would do it all on the board before Everton, resting the players from training otherwise.

2 hatem786 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:07 PM

good luck

3 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:08 PM

ffs why does Pardew bother throwing Shola a bone, Cisse alone please.

If this doesn’t work even I will have lost faith in the man.

4 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:09 PM

Please say its True 442. If i see cisse on the right im gonna go mental. Hate pardew get him out cnut

5 DoddsyNufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:09 PM

Absolute pisstake!! We can have cisse in his natural position yet pardew keeps him out of it. Total joke that man is. Shola is a pile of s**t. Laughable

6 ochytoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:10 PM

So did Pardew promise Shola a starting, central role if he didn’t go to ACON?

7 Jayden // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:10 PM

The one situation where I would prefer 4-4-2…

8 Carryingcoals // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:10 PM

when we beat bordeaux 3-0 didnt we put OBa and Cisse either side of Shola? Maybe thats pardews thinking. Marveaux is good in CM too

HOWEVER

Id still have liked |Cisse through the middle, ridiculous not having him there. This is the perfect opportunity for us to be a bit relieved with Ba going.

Could come back to bite pards big style here

Off to the match full of optimism nonetheless…

9 Dannyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:11 PM

@ochytoon
No need for AP to promise Shola anything, Shola had already signed his contract with the clause in it.

10 Cool Hand Luke // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:11 PM

Lads, theres no way thats a formation with Cisse on right wing, Cisse in the middle and Shola on the wing, or a 4-4-2 with Shola and Cisse up top

cisse should be through middle but guess his thinking is we have trained for this formation best stick with it

17 Spreadthetoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:15 PM

Dannyo
Ba had signed his contract as a player of NUFC……but seemed unable/unwilling to play on the wing…..so AP appeased him. Seems a bad trait…..will be seriously v. angry if our no.9 who was signed as our “MAIN” striker is not playing centrally cos he wants to keep Shola on-side.
There is evidently no more excuse for Cisse to be played out on the wing! None.

18 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:16 PM

We’ll lose 3-1 today. Perch is a poor right back and Williamson is a disgrace. Ameobi is useless. Can see Marveaux or Anita getting man of the match again.

19 check the toastie // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:16 PM

Repost – Please, i thank you, more illogical ramblings from Check the toastie, oh no he is spot on.

Norcal89, bow to the all knowing illogical better man.

check the toastie // Jan 2, 2013 at 6:45 PM

Think it will be 442 tonight back to hoof ball, we have knocked it about too well lately.

Krul
Perch Willo Collo Santon
Obertan Anita Tiote Marv
Shola Cisse

Typically of Pardew he will play Shola citing how he is going to fill Ba’s boots and how he is a club legend, needed him for set pieces, blah blah blah.

However it will result in no throwing out of the ball and Krul going from back to front, actually the tactic might work, but it is typical Parsnip to play Shola, even though he is shite from the start and is only good for 30 minutes max.

I add if it is not 442 and is 4231 with Cisse out wide Pardew should be instantly sacked, i cant believe he is going to play Cisse or Shola wide right tracking Baines and Pienaar, oh my word, we are going down if he does this.

Will have lost completely any fiath i had in him, which i may add is not a lot.

20 Transfer Sage // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:16 PM

Looks like a 442 with marv left and obertan right

Wait and see though

21 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:16 PM

If it’s not 442 as advertised on the official website, then I guess we had very limited options of wingers. Marveaux doesn’t like to play there and Ferguson, Sammy are probably not good enough yet in Pardew’s eyes to start. Until Ben Arfa comes back we will have to do with a make shift winger.

22 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:17 PM

*sigh* What will Debuchy think ey?

23 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:17 PM

I can’t understand Pardew’s line up. Cisse scored in nearly every game he played last season in the central role. Ba is away yet he slots Ameobi into that position with Cisse out wide. Part of me thinks this has to be a 442 formation OR Pardew has lost the plot completly.

24 tonynufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:17 PM

@89norcal.
i use them but sick of it freezing and popups

25 Beattie25 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:17 PM

You have to say that it is very bizarre of Pardew.

I think he’s a goner soon.

26 seantoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:17 PM

I think 4-4-2 with shoal playing is a good lineup! Get shola marking fellaini at set pieces. We all know Williamson can’t be trusted marking the biggest man on the pitch

27 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:17 PM

We are a joke club and need to make at least 5 signings this month to compensate for the loss of the best striker in the league.

28 geordie157 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:18 PM

As much as i want to see Cisse up front in a central role, i think Shola might be a sensible choice, adds much needed height to the team as Everton have some good players in the air, plus he can hold the ball up and create chances for Cisse, or help get us further up the pitch.

29 pizzicatochan // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:18 PM

With Shola starting, the hold-up play helps Cisse.

30 Kyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:18 PM

If Shola is alone up front then I’m taking a coach to Newcastle and personally sacking him myself.

34 hdavid23 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:18 PM

“Cheick Tiote and Anita will anchor Newcastle’s midfield, with Papiss Cisse, Sylvain Marveaux and Gabriel Obertan providing creativity for lone front man Ameobi.”
NUFC official site

35 papattack // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:19 PM

is he trying to upset cisse aswell as what he did to ba by playing him out wide??

im very much pro pardew but cisse offers nothing on the wing so if we’re going to play with two strikers play 442 or dont bother.

if we win il take it all back but cisse is never gunna get on a scoring run on the bloody wing. ridiculous!!!!

36 kevymartins // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:19 PM

38 spitfire_ // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:21 PM

Last time when Perch played at RB was in Goodison… does anybody remember what happend there and how Pardew swap his position with Anita’s? I was a optimist until I saw the teamsheet.

39 Dannyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:22 PM

@Spreadthetoon
Thing with the team is, Ba was only withdrawn today – Pardew will have worked on team shape and patterns of play etc prior to today for this game. A straight swap for Shola causes least disruptions to team’s plans, so Cissé may well play wide.

It can still change throughout the course of the game ofc.

40 2_goal_tino // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:22 PM

If there is one thing to prove beyond all doubt that we need investment it is that bench! Take Elliot out and they must have less than 50 professional appearances, at any level, all together!

But Simmo is injured and Tav isn’t much stronger than Perch. We could put Anita there but we’ll lose his much needed creativity in midfield.

We really are paper thin atm.

43 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:23 PM

Never said anything about Pardew and his job before, but if Cisse plays on the right tonight I don’t want Pardew there tomorrow morning. Seriously.

44 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:23 PM

You can’t criticise Ba for leaving. We should’ve increased his salary. Again, it’s the boards fault. He’s worth £140m if Carroll’s worth £35m.

If we would’ve signed our targets last summer, we wouldn’t have been in this situation.

45 Fostino // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:23 PM

sammy should play instead of shola & cisse up front. i think pardrew worried about defending set pieces so big ameobi on

46 Rotonda heights // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:24 PM

he just couldn’t help himself could he ..t….er!!

cool hand luke

even if that’s right, since when is shola a right winger and able to last more than 20 mins?

why do players have a hold over pardew? his management is so weak, defensive and predictable.

Obi and marv either side of cisse would have been great.

49 Kyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:24 PM

well, there goes my mood. This is embarrassing. We are a shambles. Need investment and a manager who knows what to do…..

I hope Debuchy isn’t put off by what he sees today….

50 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:25 PM

Saying he’s got a bad knee, he’s only missed about one game in 18 months. Top professional.

51 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:25 PM

Kets – they offered to up his salary. He refused and his agents have been touting him for the last year!

52 spitfire_ // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:25 PM

89Norcal

Santon on the right and Ferguson on the left… is not a rocket science. Santon regulary play in those positions… Perch not. It will be soo funny Baines and the otherone against Cisse and Perch.

53 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:25 PM

We really just don’t have the balance of players to set up a side with all players in their best and natural positions.

This seems our biggest problem to me , lack of wingers.

54 check the toastie // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:25 PM

Norcal89, not hard to predict Pardew, he simply picks players to do jobs there not very good at, the man is a joke, he is now expecting Cisse to track back hopefully Cisse is the middle of the 3 just playing off Shola, rather than being wide right.

Would have Obertan there tonight, he will give Baines something to think about, maybe restrict him getting forward as much, Gabby has looked good this year. Cisse through the middle hopefully, if it is then it is a decent side, obviously apart from Willo, but somebody has to be capable of heading the ball away, we maybe in trouble from set pieces for sure.

Krul
Perch Willo Collo Santon
Anita Tiote
Obertoon Cisse Marv
Shola

It will mean we will be booting it long to Shola a bit more than the last few games though. pffffftttt

55 Cool Hand Luke // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:26 PM

I would expect Anita to be also covering the left flank to help Perch, hes more valuable in the center of the park than perch though as he has more energy and better passing range.

Don’t want to speak to soon, but agree if Cisse is out wide our manager is a total knob.

63 gonufc (up and Hatem) // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:29 PM

I will concede that if Cisse’s tracking back is Pardew’s doing, that’s just ridiculous. All he does is throw himself around and get the RB’s way. He’s done that for the last 2 games.

But I won’t hop on the S.S. Pardew at Full Fault, not with these amount of injuries and with the football we were playing last year and recently. You can sail off without me

Well, if we play like our recent games (without folding at the end) we will do well today. I don’t think our gamplan has changed much against Everton compared to Man U and Arsenal tbh.
Shola is excellent on hold up play and that’ll help Cisse through.

I think those two will be interchanging allot.

72 Fostino // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:33 PM

pardrew must have been training cisse all wk to focus on right wing defensive duties with ba up top…then boom, ba goes (hardly a shock) and he sticks to keeping cisse on right even though he was so prolific at cf last year. come on get the finger out

87 Rotonda heights // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:37 PM

Is pardew deliberately trying to get sacked? The guy’s a total moron. Perch and cisse as RB and RW defies belief.
A 442 = hoofball and no way is cisse a RW in a 433.
Probably the best squad we’ve had in years and we have a total incompetent at the helm turning talents in to workaday attritional robots.

Has set the team up with Shola a straight replacement for Ba, Cisse is tracking Baines, great thinking Pardumb you total clutz, we are in trouble because the manager is clueless. However sounds like its the last time, Cisse should be gutted with his role. hmmmmffff, phhhfffff.

Its gona take a while for this ..I just can’t believe demba sold us out like that for money .Didn’t think he was like that bring back some memories (AC)

119 Raj // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:45 PM

I believe he’s put shola up front coz he is not much of a sprinter anymore. Will just hold up, back towards goal, passing to wings, occasional head ons to Cisse, who will be coming from behind him and run towards goal.. Oba and Marv either end.

If this is the thought, good for Pards. I’m shutting down my stream if Cisse’s out right. That would be outrageous audacity from the 8-year pundit!!

And ya folks, a very Happy New Year to Ed and y’all from India. HWTL, up up and awayyy..

120 Dannyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:46 PM

@nufc786
Love the words of AP there.
I think it reflects the general census. Now win tonight and get Debuchy in and we’ll forgotten all about Ba within Friday.

121 Baro // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:46 PM

We better win this!
Come on Cisse proove ur a true hero!!

Wished Bigi started…
Bench looks so empty…

122 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:47 PM

I can’t understand why we are preparing with cisse on the right even with ba as we are up against the best attacking lb in the league. This could be a nightmare lets just hope we see shola combine well with cisse.

123 Rotonda heights // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:47 PM

Turkish

the idiot would still have played cisse RW if Ba was still here. he learns absolutely nothing

iggy
we’ve lost 10 out of 12, we’ve got every right to moan when the t..t won’t realise his mistakes.

Biggi should be in for shola to give us more midfield control where we always get over run

124 danuneek // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:47 PM

Im sorry but hes got to put cisse up front, surely?!! We dont want cisse tracking back against baines and piennar. Perhaps thats his thinking, occupy baines with cisse attacking that right. But for me I would have started with: bigi and tiote in the middle, obertan, anita, marveux and then cisse.

125 nufc786 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:48 PM

Here’s a bit more from Alan Pardew on the departure of Demba Ba:

“We prepared yesterday with Demba in the side. I was assuming that, I was in the dark as I have been on most of this particular deal because obviously the ball was in Demba’s court. We had no inclination yesterday, we set up the team with Papiss in his normal role when Demba played. Although I’m tempted to change, I haven’t, I’ve just put Shola straight in for Demba. But going forward, Papiss will go through the middle for us. Tonight he starts out on that right hand side where he has done terrific for us.”

126 JazzMag // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:49 PM

Peter Reid = Monkeys Heed

127 Rotonda heights // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:50 PM

a massive club shouldn’t have pardew as manager.

i’m saying all this to make us win 3-0!!!

128 stockport_toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:50 PM

Hope tiote has a good game today, his passing recently has been shocking. Already forgotten about the money grabbing BA stard! Think shola will distribute more than greedy Ba so should see Cisse score!

129 stockport_toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:51 PM

Hope tiote has a good game today, his passing recently has been shocking. Already forgotten about the money grabbing BA steward! Think shola will distribute more than greedy Ba so should see Cisse score!

Was a goid interveiw by pards handled himself well

131 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:52 PM

Bonsoir messieurs.

So, Ba unavaillable and still two stikers…

If Cissé is on the wing, i would be glad to see how Pard explain it.

132 kevymartins // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:52 PM

F u c k you demba ..Its funny how one person can make millions depressed in one day…He will not know what he had until its gone

133 Jayden // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:52 PM

Seeing as Demba’s timing isn’t the best, I do forgive Pards for leaving Papiss on the right. If he plays wor #9 on the right next week, THEN we have reason to riot

134 stockport_toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:52 PM

Sorry for double post, stupid iPhone! 3-1 Cisse to score first!

135 Dannyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:53 PM

@niafron
Read Nufc786 posts at #116 and #125

136 nufc786 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:53 PM

so what pards is saying is cisse will play through the middle when we have the ball but when everton have it he will be on the right helping out perchy with baines and co

137 mattnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:53 PM

@Kevy
And he sold out on West Ham to come here. Don’t be surprised he left.

138 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:54 PM

The boys better be pumped tonight dont want to see another dithering half arsed display from tiote

139 Krul to be Kind // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:54 PM

I think we are setting up 442 and we will play 442 to combat evertons 4411/442

140 mattnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:55 PM

Debuchy and Cabaye in the crowd

141 Ben-Arfa11 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:55 PM

Im so happy that demba ba is on the verge of leaving the club results will improve when he is gone from the club.

why is people so unhappy him leaving?

he is very greedy and selfish and i havent liked his attiude since he came back from the african nations cup

i thank him for the goals but the fact that the statistics show that he has had 70 shots on goal just shows that he is very selfish on the ball and doesnt like passing it only backwards so he can get back in postion

still confused that cisse aint in the middle tho tonight that is strange

142 jeff // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:55 PM

I SEe DEBUCHY

143 Beattie25 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:56 PM

Shot my load

144 keeleytoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:56 PM

debuchy is in the stands!

145 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:56 PM

Will be seriously annoyed if we don’t sign at least 2 strikers this month.

146 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:56 PM

Debuccccchyy in the stands

147 kevymartins // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:56 PM

Lol cabaye having a laugh with debuchy in the stands

148 check the toastie // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:56 PM

niafron – basically in a nutshell Pardew said Cisse has done really well for us out wide right, (2 goals all season) interesting eh. He is killing the lad, if Shola doesnt put some effort into night and Cisse is working his bollocks off in areas he shouldnt be i will be incandescent with rage.

Debuchy in crowd, gud stuff, with his good buddy Cabaye, we are starting to build a super first team squad mind you, just hope the gaffer is up to managing them.

149 nufc786 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:56 PM

debuchy………….

150 Dannyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:57 PM

Mark Douglas ?@MsiDouglas
#nufc insiders insisting there will definitely be at least one striker joining this Jan. Debuchy is here too.

151 Jayden // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:57 PM

DREAMBOATS!

152 hotdog // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:57 PM

After all if the excitement of today with ba moving and debuchy in the stand, I nearly forgot. Williamson is still in the back four ffs.

154 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:57 PM

If we play like we did vs southampton debuchy will be back on the ferry in a flash!!
C’mon lads lets stuff the toffee’s

155 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:58 PM

Just seen Debuchy sitting next to his chum Cabaye.

156 iggystinger // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:58 PM

rotonda
aye and weve only lost 10 out of 12 due to suspensions and injuries and its rare nowadays that players are constantly played in the same position players should be able to adapt and play anywhere when asked

157 wingspan // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:58 PM

Cabaye looked sooo happy sat next to his mate! And hot! I like chicks but the guys a dream!

158 toonicle // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:58 PM

Oh good heavens Pards! Ameobi starts up front and Cisse is played wide right again…. What is wrong with Pardew?

159 check the toastie // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:59 PM

Shola needs to get in and around Heitinga, not the most physical of CB’s come on Shola have a good un, put some effort in you big lazy f##ker.

160 2_goal_tino // Jan 2, 2013 at 7:59 PM

Think Cabaye’s wife may be a bit annoyed Debuchy’s coming here. Don’t think she’ll ever see him now. Mathieu and Yohan have a full on bromance going on … love it!

161 kevymartins // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:00 PM

2 goal tino lmao

162 check the toastie // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:00 PM

164 Williamson is Bramble in disguise // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:01 PM

Cisee wont be playing as a winger, for of an inside forward so he can cut in, bloody hell have abit of faith, if we score 3 again chances are we’ll win, no reason why not, besides shola cant last long, 60 minutes tops, hell be off, nile or sammy will be on the wing, cisse in the center, everythings hunky dory as long as we keep it 0-0 till then, which has little to do with the forwards anyway, bitof positive thinking goes a long way, 5:0 toon, cisse hatrick, one from ranger and one from marvs!

165 toonicle // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:02 PM

195 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:06 PM

Brilliant just brilliant who needs ba

196 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:06 PM

Krul is top notch

197 Ben-Arfa11 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:06 PM

i told you demba ba suffered our play.

anyone remember when he wouldnt put cisse through against stoke when we were 1-0 up

now look at us fly out of the traps

newcastle are bag

such a relieft that greedy git is out of our club

hopefully get a new pacey striker in like remy so cisse can be our main centre forward

198 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:06 PM

Save timmy lad

199 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:07 PM

tads

It’s bloody unbelievable isn’t it. Every he touches puts us in danger!

200 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:07 PM

Good free kick by Baines.

201 Graeme // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:07 PM

Do you get the impression that Cisse is just so WELL UP for this game? What a start by the MAN!!

Hope he hits 3 or 4 – it would be magical lol

202 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:07 PM

Krul what a great couple of stops!

203 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:08 PM

i cringe everytime he makes a tackle at the moment we went from complete control to under pressure in 2 seconds for no reason

204 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:09 PM

Marveauxs a good tackler aswell

205 Billythefish // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:09 PM

207 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:10 PM

Shola! Fcuking shola! With a back heel!

208 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:12 PM

Obertans had a decent start

209 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:12 PM

Tiote really is terrible at the moment…

If we could afford to, I’d have Perch CM instead.

210 Jayden // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:13 PM

Gabby on it tonight! Looking bright all round!

Save Tiote, ofc.

211 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:13 PM

Tiote is a t1t sometimes ,that’s a rubbish challenge

217 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:19 PM

Ffs someone slap tiote he’s been late in every challenge can see him walking for a stupid one

218 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:20 PM

Falling apart him calm it down lads no need to be panicing and punting the ball

219 iggystinger // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:20 PM

canny get a hold of the ball the now givin it away to cheaply

220 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:21 PM

Pardew directing the squad to stay back and defend for the rest of the match now. This is quality football right here……

221 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:21 PM

Sitting deep

222 nufc786 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:21 PM

perchy doesnt look settled at RB hes trying to play ground passes but are being cut out easily

223 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:21 PM

We look good, considering we haven’t had the ball for 10 minutes.

224 Toon_Jock // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:22 PM

Go forward FFS – FIGHT

225 iggystinger // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:22 PM

stupid foul by williamson

226 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:24 PM

How many free kicks are we going to give away in dodgy areas?

227 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:25 PM

Gabbys playing well

228 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:25 PM

Maybe the team has suffered the equivalent of a nervous breakdown. The last two months have been bi polar, this game no exception

229 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:25 PM

Getting played off the park they’re winning all the second balls, we can’t keep possession and we look shakey at the back. Only a matter of time.

230 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:25 PM

Attack FFS. This is the worst part of Pardews Tactic. Once you start leading against a tough opponent – go to defensive mode.

If we keep defending, players will be constantly under immense pressure and give away free kicks, penalty and get cards.

231 ajcrawfs // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:26 PM

Obertan looks decent here

232 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:27 PM

Everton are the best at pressing, and high up the pitch too.

233 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:27 PM

we have to get another one, i cant remember we held onto a 1-0 lead, we need tot take it to everton before they score

234 noladonna // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:27 PM

its like everton are the home team come on lads ffs

235 cg // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:28 PM

strolla strolling around looking at the ball per usual :/

236 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:28 PM

Wish we would keep the ball on the deck ffs.

237 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:28 PM

Our team are a funny lot like marv ober santon cisse shola all trying to keep the ball and play it around, then it drops back to tiote krul or perch and hoof!

238 IndonesiaToon // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:28 PM

streaming just shut… any good link please?

239 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:29 PM

So slow to get support to obertan there

240 noladonna // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:30 PM

241 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:30 PM

if only that went in ffs

242 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:31 PM

Ahhhhhhh perchy nearly hot his second toon goal great free kick from anita

243 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:31 PM

When is our luck gonna change!!

244 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:32 PM

we are going to concede, we need anotehr goal and soon

245 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:32 PM

Krul brilliant again,really need to sort out those runs

246 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:33 PM

It’s official we’re shite. This games only gonna end one way.

247 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:33 PM

250 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:33 PM

Pfffftttttt cmon lads someone shoulda been on that better tho!

254 Tinman // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:35 PM

Ameobi has been woeful so far

255 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:36 PM

There is fight in our team. I think they are trying to save energy and surprise us in the 2nd half.

256 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:36 PM

we badly need another striker, shola ameobi just isnt good enough

257 toonicle // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:36 PM

Williamson has shown up today, actually playing pretty darn good so far at the back. Wish he’d stop hoofing it everytime he get’s it but the good defense is a start atleast.

258 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:37 PM

btw im getting a headache from this game haha. The worry of us losing is unbearable

259 nufc786 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:37 PM

264 Tinman // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:41 PM

Stone wall pen

265 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:41 PM

The players should calm down and THINK what they should do with the ball instead of hoofing it. How about defenders holding the ball and passing to wingers to attack, pass it in-field to midfielders to create attacks or attack the opposition line themselves

266 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:42 PM

Ref is a complete f…king horror!!

267 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:42 PM

281 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:46 PM

playing shola upfront alone is not working, hes just not pacey enough

282 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:46 PM

I don’t think the 4-3-3 is working very well today – it is very static, which doesn’t really suit this kind of formation

…hope for a better second half!

283 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:46 PM

Obertan chickened out on the wall,surely we should have someone on a post at free kicks maybe could have got to it

284 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:46 PM

Perch hasnt really had a good game it will be good to have a class RB for once.

285 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:46 PM

Always gonna happen. We have given away about 6 free kicks in the same area.

286 Mint // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:46 PM

1-1 – TIOTE AGAIN COSTS US THE LEAD WITH STUPID FREE KICK!!! When will it end???

287 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:47 PM

Giving away far too many free kicks in and around the box it was always coming direct or with a cross. Get tiote off he’s useless.

288 jeff // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:47 PM

Then all the everton players can stand right in front of krul marty, the wall man would be playing them onside

289 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:47 PM

We’re playing just fine, it’s the final third we are being hesitant in.

And what’s with all the damn fouls within 30 yards of our own goal? Keep it clean ffs.

290 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:47 PM

Entertaining first half anyway.

291 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:47 PM

Great strike by baines though,Krul had just moved across n couldn’t get back

292 LargeSadMenace // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:48 PM

Obertan turned his back on the ball in the wall, absolute weakling in every aspect of his play

293 Tinman // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:48 PM

Krul has been playing well, would expect him to save that tbh

294 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:48 PM

Guys it was just a good free kick, deal with it…..

295 Tommyy // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:49 PM

They’re just too strong plain and simply.

296 Dannyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:49 PM

We’re being beaten at the flanks tonight. Tiote been invisible cause the ball isn’t going through the middle at all.
Wonder how AP will shore this up, there’s simply a difference in quality here on the edges.

297 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:49 PM

We need to calm down. Too many free kicks conceded

298 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:49 PM

Tiote has become a liability, replace him with sissoko. sooner we get debuchy into the team the better. he wont be impressed with what he has seen so far

299 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:49 PM

Marty toon man on the post on free kicks looooooool that’s funny. New to football?

300 BelfastMagpie // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:49 PM

Switch to 4-4-2 second half.
Obertan on the right.

301 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:49 PM

I would put Ranger on for Ameobi. Push Cisse as striker and Ranger on the right. Ameobi has no stamina left in him what so ever!

302 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:50 PM

The ref is having an absolute horror show of a performance.

303 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:50 PM

Made a brilliant start it’s such a shame what happens to the team when everton settle

304 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:50 PM

I think Pardew is going back to 4-4-2 in the second half!

…can’t really blame him cause we are taking advantages of the triangles created in midfield and Cisse is caught out on the right too often

305 gaz 44 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:50 PM

hardly think tiote touches fellani n goes down like sack of spuds .. straight after we should of had a pen.

306 Tiote4PM // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM

lots of whining little faggots on here I see.

The team is anxious that is clear and Everton are a bloody good team.

I am hoping for a solid point. 2-2.

307 darrenfletcher88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM

Good first half, everyone seems to forget we have 4 even 5 starters on that pitch tonight,where doing ok,plenty more chances to come in this game one thinks!!

308 LargeSadMenace // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM

Norcal

But was it? If Obertan hadn’t moved out of the way it would have went straight into the wall

309 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM

*are not

310 BelfastMagpie // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM

Need to push Baines back

311 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM

Two stone wall penalties denied. The ref has given Everton decision after decision.

312 euanpolo // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM

That wasn’t a free-kick ffs – Tiote barely brushed Fellaini. Great hit by Baines though. To be fair we’ve played well enough but I think we need a bit more control in the midfield maybe Bigirimana on for one of the strikers.

313 Raj // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:51 PM

What crap is going on?!! WHy is Cisse dabbling and being wasted at wings?!!I can’t believe the NUFC thinktank is so full of shite now a days.

Isn’t it the job of Coaches and other staff to work it our with Mister Pardass about whether these formations will work or not?!! If it’s not working, why wait for the other team to score a few before doing something about changing it!!

ANd get this Tiote to ACON asap! Thank God for Ivory Coast, I bid them all the best to go to Final where he gets injured for the rest of the season.. Lazy overconfident bitch!

314 fkthemackems // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:52 PM

Fkin shocking team manager owner, r I p premiership

315 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:52 PM

Don’t think any one expected Baines to smash IT was expecting one of his curlers

316 Crow59 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:52 PM

i think so far weve not been to bad, as for the ameobi selection youve got to give it to pardew, affective in the final third to an extent as he offers a target but defensively in set piece situations is where hes vital as everton are a decent team aerially, so far so good now lets find ourselves a winner. Less silly challenges from tiote and get obertoon more in the game and i think we can find 3 points HWTL

317 Beattie25 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:53 PM

Our defense gives us such an air of uncertainty that we cannot relax.

We need a leader in that back 4 and i’m sorry Colo is not it.

Willo being dragged all over the place and Perch is extremely nervous.

Why can we play so well at keeping the ball against Man U and Arsenal and play so poorly today?

I’ll tell you how, giving Everton too much respect. One of Pardew’s biggest flaws is trying to neautrilise problems rather than creating them.

318 HullMag6 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:54 PM

Tiote hmmm sell replace with sissoko?

319 noladonna // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:54 PM

ffs were gonna lose this game its so obvious perch at right back is worse than simpson totally shite nothing going forward if everton score again perch off fegie on and swap him with santon

320 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:55 PM

We’d be winning 3-1 now if Ba was playing. Santon is having another blinder and Coloccini is back to his normal self.

321 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:55 PM

LargeSadMenace

It was a Ronaldo special, that ball started right and swerved left, beating Krul. just a brilliant free kick

322 fkthemackems // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:57 PM

Hope all you fkin mugs from last season are now starting to believe me,,,, the fat fkin bastard is using our beloved nufc as an advertising shop, I’m fkin embraced to see what has become of us ,RIP my beloved toon!!!!!!!

323 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:57 PM

And we have KETS coming from the left field again

324 Transfer Sage // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:57 PM

Everton are a good side, we have no right to be turning them over. Any win would have to be hard fought.

We Ba leaving disrupting the game plan I think the lads are doing well.

325 Spreadthetoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:57 PM

A reversion to more shlte tbf….long ball hoofing and sitting back when we had the lead, allowing Everton all the possession and shots….at a home game….its criminal!
cisse in the middle cos’ play him out on the wing then there’s a chance he’ll get another yellow! FFS Shola no good in that set up.Bring on Abied for Shola and take off Tiote for Bigi…simples!

326 Ben Arfa (Either love him or Hatem) // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:57 PM

89Norcal,

I disagree. Baines got decent power on it.
It didn’t swerve, it hit Obertan.
He essentially did a Wilshere and made Krul’s job difficult.

327 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:58 PM

noladonna

Who else can play RB? Why do you think we bought Debuchy?

328 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:58 PM

the worlds biggest unsolved mysteries 1: we are we here 2: are we alone in the galaxy 3: how the bloody hell did shola get to the premier league!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

329 LargeSadMenace // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:58 PM

Norcal

Credit to the power in the strike but obertan jumped and turned his back on the ball, had he been a man and done his job it would have hit him and not the onion bag

330 Baro // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:58 PM

Marvo needs to have the ball more….

331 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:59 PM

Nufc83
New to football ….no,probably was playing football b4 you were allowed to watch it
Many teams play with a man on the post.
Why do we concede at so many free kicks?
The keeper can’t cover the whole goals with the quality of free kicks these days

332 Rotonda heights // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:59 PM

Atkinson and Dean should not be allowed to ref NUFC games.

Shola off and Bigi on please as we should have done from the start, although shola should have had a pen.

Actually before Baines strike for a nothing free kick I thought we were doing well. Some really good passing and at last some movement for a change.

333 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:59 PM

we need to win tonight, it’s as simple as that we cannot afford lose tonight.

334 Baro // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:59 PM

Lets win this in 2nd half!…

335 fkthemackems // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:59 PM

Hate is nowhere near my feelings for mike Ashley

336 Transfer Sage // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:59 PM

The ball do swerve on he free kick. You can see the shape on it matches how he hits it.

Very good free kick but it was weak from obertan.

337 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 8:59 PM

Now we have debuchy we need a fullback and a commanding midfielder with a cool head. What has happened to tiote. Although he’d look a better player with Cabaye and HBA around him.

I think this match would have suited Jonas too.

I just see us losing if Everton pressure us the same again. Well tire again and limited options on the bench.

338 Mint // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:00 PM

Is it true Kets is a sophisticated AI?

339 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:00 PM

It’s amazing how people see exactly what they want to see.

Some see us playing like Barcelona, some see us playing terrible and getting battered, whilst the rest – the ones with brains – see a spirited performance against a very good side by one with a depleted squad who’ve conceded 11 goals in 2 games prior.

340 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:00 PM

The ref is having a mare tonight lookinh at his gut and saggy t1ts he’s just finished his other job as a shopping centre santa

Tiote needs to get his head in the game same with colo whos all over the place leaving willo on his own

341 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:00 PM

Move Santon to RB, bring Fergi to play LB. Sub Tioti and Move perch to play DM

342 darrenfletcher88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:00 PM

@fkthemackems, get the rope out son,we have been in worse states than we are currently in now, keep believing man!! Take baines Fellini jelivic out of Everton and they would be struggling, ( Ben Arfa,cabaye,taylor)

343 noladonna // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:01 PM

like i said put santon there put fergie left back simples

344 Macas // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:01 PM

Obertan is hopeless. Almost like playing with 10 men, far too timid and uncertain when he has the ball

345 wreker16 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:01 PM

I don’t think we’ve been that horrific, given lots of fouls away though. Papiss is running his socks off…… But he’s not a winger, colos been solid, krul also (bar the 40 free kick),

We haven’t been threatening them in anyway though, santon needs to learn to cross with his left

346 t00ntime // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:01 PM

Lol why wud you want to get rid of tiote, its not his fault moyes sucked the ref off. Fellani fell over him self, got a free kick. Clear pen (compared fk) shola got told no.
Ref making 2 awful (and game changing) decsions already

347 phonics84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:02 PM

Ba deal done. Pards waves goodbye. Goodluck DEMBA

348 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:02 PM

ToonDownSouth

Its called difference in opinion mate. We are playing well but we need to win this one. It’s probably one of the most importants games we will play this year to get us off the blocks.

349 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:02 PM

noladonna

Fergie against Everton’s wingers and fullbacks?

rather not!

350 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:03 PM

Debuchy failed medical due to neck cramps after watching the NUFC vs Everton game.

351 Krul to be Kind // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:03 PM

Marty

They keep it 6yard box max, if you play a man on the post then opposition can harass the keeper unlike corners where the ball is played from the byline meaning everyone is onside no matter

352 Beattie25 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:03 PM

Krul is at fault for the free kick.

At that distance if Baines curls it it would take an eon for it to reach the goal meaning Krul didn’t have to move 2 steps so early.

He has been poor this year for me.

Anyway we can win this!!

HWTL

353 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:03 PM

Need Obertan and Marv to attack them now and stretch them at the back

354 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:03 PM

Obertan is just too lightweight gets bullied off the ball so easily.

355 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:04 PM

Marty you will not find a professional team who at fk outside the box not on side employ a man on the post. One of the basics in football im afraid

356 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:04 PM

T00ntime
Tiote has made some stupidly late tackles tonight i dont want him sold just to sort himself out
Cisse’s booking was weak so uncalled for

357 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:05 PM

Got to love this jock commentator.

358 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:06 PM

debuchy doesnt look too impressed sitting in the stands, maybe thinking twice about joining newcastle.

359 Magickit // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:06 PM

Debuchy n cabaye on the stand!!!!

360 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:07 PM

Poor perchy he really isnt a RB

361 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:08 PM

Ok who paid the Ref

362 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:08 PM

Does Shola know what he is supposed to do when we attack he looks lost everytime.

363 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:09 PM

Hows that a freekick ffs cisse just stood still!

364 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:09 PM

Atkinson is absolute shocking.

365 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:10 PM

f******g williamson WE NEED A CCCCCCCCCBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

366 noladonna // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:10 PM

mike willo just lol

367 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:10 PM

Willo again showing how pro footballers don’t control balls

368 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:10 PM

Debuchy, CB, striker as a minimum this window.

369 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:10 PM

How can a professional not control a simple bouncing ball. Throw me 20 of them and ill control them all dead and im shite

370 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:11 PM

Curious to see the tactical evolution of this game.

371 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:12 PM

Hopefully we’ll win and Willo gets sent-off.

372 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:12 PM

Ahhh fcuk jelovic ya big jessie!

373 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:13 PM

Is Tiote trying to get sent off…..

374 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:13 PM

We are that bad in defence we had to poke Javelic in the eye hahahahaha

375 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:14 PM

We need one more in midfield, we are getting overrun. Willaimson is a clueless chicken

376 keeleytoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:14 PM

Willo looks so shakey on the ball lol

377 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:14 PM

Norcal
Kinda looking firward to him going to the ACON
hes getting bullied by fellani

378 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:14 PM

You have to laugh at willo getting paid all this money for his size.

379 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:15 PM

Unlucky shola great control

380 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:15 PM

Ahh unlucky Shola

381 iggystinger // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:15 PM

fcukin hell

382 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:15 PM

Marv that was pure class well until shola took over

383 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:15 PM

Marvo brilliant again, if that was Cisse…

384 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:15 PM

Just smash the effing ball shola feck the deft touch!!

385 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:16 PM

392 iggystinger // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:17 PM

Again, pathetic defending

394 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:17 PM

I KNEW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, TERRIBLE DEFENDING ABSOLUTE DISGRACE, YET AGAIN A 1-0 LEAD THROWN AWAY

395 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:17 PM

Hoping for a point now. Bad times

396 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:17 PM

Football is not fair. Pards needs to change it up NOW or we are in serious trouble. Get Shola off FFS

397 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:17 PM

Where the fcuk was perch? And wtf was santon doing?
Absolutly p1ss poor defending
Perch nowhere
Colo nowhere
Santon fcuking nowhere

398 MUTINYbyLEMONS // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:17 PM

Why does santon let him run across so easily

399 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:18 PM

Debuchey starting to have second thoughts watching this I imagine. Demba Ba not.

400 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:18 PM

Santon marking no one again

401 Oleg G // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:18 PM

Marv is a genius. He is sometimes does better things than HBA. He cuts defenses like a knife cuts butter and his way of looking at the game, finding the right player with his pass is great!

402 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:19 PM

Back four are absolutely abysmal

its actually shameful.

403 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:19 PM

It was Perch that let him as you can see its the right hand side. PERCH and Williamson.

404 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:19 PM

Defence is absolute shambles once again when are we going to improve. A lot of bloggers called that we would lose it after that Haines your right

405 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:20 PM

Hopefully cabs is saying look matty lad look how badly we need you!

406 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:20 PM

Cisse should be up front …..anybody else could be on the left side…NOT our number 9…

407 FrankfurtMag // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:20 PM

….. 4-4-2 and let the hoofball commence.

408 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:21 PM

Ameobis playing bloody cm

409 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:21 PM

4 new defenders plz Pards

410 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:21 PM

What do we have to do to get a win FFS. We take the lead at home in the 2nd minute and Pards thinks we can hold on for the rest of the game. Has he not learned yet

411 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:21 PM

How come we don’t know how to pass and move today – my god it is static

…doesn’t Pardew want Tiote to safeguard the defense (he is not adding anything going forward) It is the third game in a row Tiote has been useless

412 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:21 PM

Turkish
Wilo HAD to go over as perch had gone awol colo and santon were completly unaware of what was going on in the box

413 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:22 PM

PARDEW IS TIME FOR SUBS, DONT LEAVE IT TILL LATE AGAIN YOU TACTICAL GENIUS TWAT.

414 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:22 PM

Was just gonna say Obertan is giving us nothing,nearly scored

415 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:22 PM

Obertan had to shoot everyone was so late in the box

416 mansize scotty // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:22 PM

Shit qpr winning 1-0

417 FrankfurtMag // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:22 PM

Among all the doom and gloom, I have to say Anita and Marv are really good players. Anita has everything except strength. He is impressing me more game after game.

418 belgrade fan // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:22 PM

420 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:23 PM

tads

Don’t waste your time..Turkish’s comment at 409 says it all lol

421 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:23 PM

Why did he just take Obertan off?

Are you kidding me…..

422 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:23 PM

IF WE LOSE THIS WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE, WITH THE TEAM WE HAVE WE SWHOULD BE NOWHERE NEAR BOTTOM 5 FFS

423 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:24 PM

Another masterstroke sub from Pards. What does he do ? , close his eyes, point at the subs bench and thats his decision FFS. Oh and QPR are winning . Could this get any worse

424 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:24 PM

Willo kind of watched the ball roll, he loves to spectate that man.

425 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:24 PM

omg f((uk ok, Pardew going defensive again. We need to protest and get this twat out including our owners and director. I have had anough, they are destroying our beautiful club. Imagine what debuchy must be thinking, I wont be surprised if he says no.

426 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:24 PM

Qpr winning against Chelsea

427 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:24 PM

Odd substitution under the circumstances, to put it mildly.

428 ochytoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:24 PM

Worrying to say the least. Even with Debuchy we are in a relegation scrap now.

429 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:24 PM

Tiote has been absolutely abysmal all game

430 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:24 PM

Get tiote off he’s a disgrace

431 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:25 PM

Ref is cheating

432 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:25 PM

Ah ffs tiote first you give the ball away and now a free kick
Calm down your a fcuking liability absolute d1ck tonight

433 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:25 PM

Perch willo tiote santon (defensively) and Cisse not good enough defensively. We need two goals, 1 point is not good enough. We’re fighting for EPL survival.

Our defense this season has been utterly atrocious across the park – not just defenders.

434 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:25 PM

At least Tiote is showin some passion,santon doesn’t press his man near enough

435 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:25 PM

what the F is tiote doing

436 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:25 PM

Debuchy might change his mind after watching this

437 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:26 PM

Lads look lost on the pitch once again. lack of confidence is a terrible thing.

Even the most basic things are difficult in such circumstances.

438 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:26 PM

Ahhh Cisse man. Nothing is going our way at all tonight

439 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:26 PM

can’t wait for tiote to leave for cup of nation’s ameobi and williamson worst players ever to wear black & white

440 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:26 PM

We have had zero luck this season.

441 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:26 PM

Anita is class

442 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

santon shouldnt be in the first team picture, he plays like a left midfeilder not a fucking defender send him out on loan

443 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

Obertan has been useless today; whenever Santon is making an overlap run Obertan gets caught on the wing – he need to move inside so he is to some use…

…understandable sub for me!

444 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

Pards – Shite we’re losing 2-1, Bigi get on lad lets shut up shop.

445 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

WHY IS AMEOBI STILL ON FFS???

446 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

Ameobi shooting from 25+ yards. Yup he’s definitely filling Ba’s shoes.

447 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

we lose this we are in deep trouble very big trouble…

448 Papiss9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

Why is Shola shooting all time? and with his left foot.. never going in

449 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

@Spuggy

You forgott the away game…

450 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:27 PM

GET HIM OFF FOR F**K SAKE!!!!!!

451 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:28 PM

We need a young distin

452 Spuggy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:28 PM

Why can’t any nufc players bar collo predict where the second ball is going to land

453 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:28 PM

Nice shot by Willo and nice save by Krul, lmao

454 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:29 PM

I bet Debuchy will want a get out clause if we are relegated because we are deep in the sh*t now

455 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:29 PM

Williamson GET OUT OF MY CLUB…I cant stand watching this plonker anymore….!”!”!”!”

sorry for al the rage

456 noladonna // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:29 PM

i hope tiote wont be getting back in the team after acon anita cabs and marv all day is our best 3 midfielders anita and cabs playing deep marv just ahead

457 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:29 PM

Fooled is all there williamson great improvisation you pleb

458 Magpies-till-d3ath // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:29 PM

I’m Done!

459 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:29 PM

Atleast we’re still having a go, any sensible collection of men would of downed tools weeks ago

460 GAZ09 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:30 PM

What we need is a new Fu**ing manager asap!

461 jimiley // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:30 PM

We can still win this. Our team is much better.

462 lgnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:30 PM

What an effort from Willo. Put him up front pards! Marveaux can have a stint while youre at it alan! “Why the **** not?!”

463 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:30 PM

Thank f@ck we have Brighton next a team on level with our defense.

464 geordiemacc // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:31 PM

This does not make pleasant viewing. As long as we have Williamson in derence, we are screwed. He is absolutely clueless. Tiote is a red card waiting to happen and the team as a whole looks completely devoid of any ideas. I fear the worst.

465 iggystinger // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:31 PM

we need to up the tempo sumthin awfy to slow put everton under sum type of pressure

466 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:31 PM

why the f*** is santon always in the middle of the pitch or upfront, hes a defender not an attacker ffs

467 Tommyy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:31 PM

Think we’ve just got to finally admit we’re a very easy side to beat. No ifs no buts no excuses.
In a real dog fight now even if we do rescue a point somehow.

468 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:31 PM

Guys isnt it obvious, the team is not behind the manager now they know our owners amibition, This is not going to turn out well if we lose again today. I see players like Santon, Ben Arfa, cabaye and colo all leaving. Why would Debuchy want to join us?>??

469 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:31 PM

When’s a game we can actually win its not going to be at the amex or at carrow road

470 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:32 PM

Refs taking the p1ss here

471 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:32 PM

TurkishFan

you just have all the answers dont you?

472 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:32 PM

Ameobi get off your ruining our attacks

473 Ben3arfa // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:32 PM

Ameobi has the IQ of a buffalo, why does he always foul players .

474 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:33 PM

We desperateley need a goal, I know lets bring on our top scorer, oh wait he is in London FFS

475 lgnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:33 PM

Qpr about to get 3 points too. What the hell is happening?

476 TOONARMY4LIFE // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:33 PM

here we go 3-1

477 Joe Blog // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:33 PM

Destined for relegation.

478 WTF // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

poor defend……

479 noladonna // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

game over right here

480 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

Feillani kicking and bucking at every little touch, lol jesus that man is a cnut

481 darrenfletcher88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

3-1 now I bet!! Early night it is

482 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

It’s gonna be 3-1 At st James park

483 nufcursed // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

pardew must go now!!
he’s had time enough..
his long balls tactics are a disgrace for true magpies fans!!
if he would play cissé in the middle instead of ameobi we would be winning…
it’s clear he hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing

GET PARDEW OUT ASAP or we’ll be relegated AGAIN

484 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

If the unthinkable does happen, Ash surely goes down as the greatest dud owner in the history of the game

485 lgnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

surprised if leighton doesnt finish this

486 bobby vee // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

P.S. to Ashley.

For gods sake make your next financial outlay “A taxi
for Pardew” In fact go the full hog and join him!!

487 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

We have no luck

488 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

omfg our defense is atrocious….

this is horrid….I am embarrassed …. we need 2 NEW CB to rescue this season 2…mark my words we dont get two great one we are relegated…

489 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:34 PM

Debuchy laughing with Cabaye about how w@nk our team is luckily he’ll get more money here.

490 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:35 PM

omg referee.

491 nufc.romania // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:35 PM

what is going on with out defence ? williamson perch santon are so poor we need debuchy very fast and another central defender very soon.
Ameodi is shity too

492 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:35 PM

Where are me car keys i’ll drive tiote to chelsea they can have him

493 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:35 PM

Buy the ref a blue jersey

494 Rake // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:35 PM

How many fouls is that shola…

495 toonicle // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:35 PM

Ref has a blue jersey on underneath doesn’t he?

496 Beattie25 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

Indefensible tonight yet again!

497 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

I would probably take Ameobi off at this point and move Cisse inside I he haven’t already done that (hard to tell what is going on in there)

498 ajcrawfs // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

Ref is shite

499 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

@89Norcal I don’t want to sound negative but isn’t that the truth? most players on the pitch look frustrated or don’t know what they are doing. I am afraid really if we don’t get a draw today we may get no one in the transfer window who will join us.The fact I live in London as well, aload of man u, chelski fans is hard to live with SAF recently making that comment you think its true? With our owner, director and Pardew which is under extreme pressure he will continue to make mistakes.

500 will.dawg // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

Me: Oh well, with Demba Ba gone, that means Cisse can move back into the middle and start banging in the goals again, no biggy!

Pardew: *Troll Face*

501 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

St James park used to be a fortress and snu team were scared to come. It’s such a shame it’s an embarrassment

502 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

If Ashley does not get his cheque book out after this I will give up

503 ochytoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

Just our luck that all of our defenders are out of form at the same time.

504 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

This cant be happening again to us I am sorry its acceptable….completely

505 lgnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

COME ON SAMMY

506 gaz 44 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:36 PM

who’s the scouser in the red

507 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:37 PM

…I didn’t say put Ameobi on

508 Tommyy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:37 PM

Such a stupid decision to take off Obertan, he was an outlet running at them, no we’re inviting them onto us! Does Pardew never learn!?

509 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:37 PM

Oh wow,here comes Sammy,I’m sure they’re shivering in their boots now

510 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:37 PM

Big Pappa Cissé

agreed friend agreed

511 Oleg G // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:37 PM

What should we do?

bigi with Tiote in the middle, Marv infront of them. Anita on the right, put Ameobi out and Fergy on the left?

512 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:38 PM

What was bigi thinking

513 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:38 PM

Turkish

We were excellent in the midfield in the 1st half. Triangles and solid possession, so not sure what you’re talking about..

It’s the constant blunders of our defense that drop a nuke on our morale. The players are sick of seeing us conede poor goals.

Now we are so paper thin we have no one to fill in for Marveaux or Gabby.

514 jimiley // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:38 PM

There is no need to panic at this stage. We should just take one game at a time and see where we finish at the end of the season. We need to get behind Alan and the team.

515 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:39 PM

Where is Ranger for Ameobi?????? WHY IS AMEOBI STILL ON

516 fkthemackems // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:39 PM

Disgraceful display ,,, by disgracefull owner and Emm that person on the touch line with the suit on,,,, oh yes fkin joker,,,,

517 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:39 PM

That’s our only hope, the opposition decimated by “friendly fire”

518 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:39 PM

So the 2 “Wee club” up north are going to lose today

519 Benji84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:39 PM

Why does Pards always makes 1 sub a 60-70 mins one dead on 80 and i put money he do one on the 85
shola needs to go off

520 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:39 PM

Get up Neville or focking retire!

521 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:39 PM

Can we atleast draw the game ffs

522 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:40 PM

Teams below us winning and us standing still. I guarentee after Debuchy we will not sign anyone else

523 Tommyy // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:40 PM

See where we finish? At this rate we’ll be relegated by next month. I can’t see how Debuchy would want to join this club, we’re in dissaray on the pitch.

524 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:40 PM

FFS SANTON CROSS IT!!!!

525 Rake // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:40 PM

Back post Santon…

526 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:40 PM

Santon you Cnut passssss

527 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:40 PM

Norcal
Spot on were creating chances sciring goals and then are defence are simply lubing up and bending over

528 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:40 PM

QPR got 3 points

529 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

Santon man FFS, Its simple just put it on Cisse’s toe

530 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

SANTON OMFG!HW”!”Y!”!”!”Y!(Y”!’! IDIOTTTT CIISSEE WASS FREEEEEEE WHAT IS HE DOING!”()!(“)!(“

531 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

Referee has caused a very very sour game. He has ruined the game.

532 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

Knew he wouldn’t score I didn’t even flinch

533 iggystinger // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

what the fcuk santon cisse wis cryin oot tae tap it in

534 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

santon you greedy pr**k

535 lgnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

I honestly don’t understand what happened during the summer. With coming 5th place, surely cashly came into some new money. About 1m invested into the club through transfers in the form of a few 18 year olds along with anita, who doesn’t look the classiest of signings tbh. Lets make some god damn signings

536 JAMSHA // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

omfg tough we wer winng….pointless to watch the full highlight den…its 3 am.il beta sleep since we are fkd

537 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:41 PM

Stats for the Chelsea and QPR doesnt go with the result. Just like the L’pool and Aston Villa game

538 Blaydon-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:42 PM

FFs santon square the fcuking ball !

539 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:42 PM

SANTON IS A MORON

540 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:42 PM

tads

been the story. 12 goals in 3 games ought to say something

541 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:42 PM

Santon when were a goal down because of your marking you
SQUARE THE FCUKING BALL

542 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:42 PM

Greedy bloody basterd

543 bobby vee // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:42 PM

Its never been as bad as this – pass the rope and stool!!

544 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:42 PM

I can’t face another relegation. The first one was hard enough

545 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:42 PM

That’s better by santon

546 Oleg G // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:43 PM

6-7 mins exta time. We have to make it count!

547 89Norcal // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:43 PM

shooting from 30 yards……………

548 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:43 PM

Santon, lads, is right footed. So he did what a right footed guy do in such a position.

THis is why having a right footed guy as LB isn’t a good idea.

549 lgnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:43 PM

ranger lol

550 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:43 PM

Ffs lads stop shooting from 20 yards

551 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:44 PM

Sammy ,great skill but what are you doing?

552 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:44 PM

Stop shooting from outside the box lads

553 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:44 PM

Ranger, bloody hell we are desperate

554 Benji84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:44 PM

Boom was i was right 85 min and his last sub
WTF I think we all could be a manager

555 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:44 PM

OW GOD ….now it will be 3.1

556 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:44 PM

Bad boy Ranger to gun them down

557 cg // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:44 PM

So it has come to lone ranger…

558 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:45 PM

Ranger doesn’t look like a prem footballer

559 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:45 PM

f Ash has ay sort of a soul, he’ll throw money at this.

560 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:45 PM

Niafron
He could have no fcuking feet and still of squared that

561 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:45 PM

Ranger danger

562 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:46 PM

pardew your a loser whats your excuse 50’000 fans can see shola, williamson are sh*t

563 fkthemackems // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:46 PM

564 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:46 PM

Yet another frustrating Newcastle performance

565 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:46 PM

Que the Pardew excuse train. I swear to god that guy has some explaining to do after this shower of shite

566 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:47 PM

Really hope pardew is gone 2mora

567 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:47 PM

We started attacking in the last 10mins of the game. Should have done this after the break

568 Magpies-till-d3ath // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:47 PM

Unless Pardew is sacked, I’m not going to watch anymore games or even care about the results. Relegation again.

569 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:47 PM

Oh and a foul to Everton !!

570 keeleytoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:47 PM

Still got 6 minutes lads

571 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:48 PM

I swear most of our players are as thick as shite

572 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:48 PM

how could we lose this at home….what is going on…

something needs to change….

either Pardew is unable to psychologically prep these players….

I dunno I just dont know…

573 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:48 PM

Who could have predicted this after last season. Thank you Mike Ashley, breaking NUFC fans hearts world wide

574 Rake // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:49 PM

Pardew’s substitutions confuse the players everyone’s moving around into different positions….

575 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:49 PM

4 minutes left and everton are tormenting us

576 Benji84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:49 PM

I know pards is lacking quality but come on

577 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:49 PM

We’re an embarrassment at times……this is just shocking
We’ve shown very little fight since goin behind

578 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:50 PM

@TADS

It’s not about the feet, it’s about the how the body is trained to act.
It go to fast for thinking.

579 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:50 PM

That’s it ranger just throw a freakin leg at it

580 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:50 PM

4 defenders vs Anichebe and they do nothing..

AMAZING

581 Beattie25 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:50 PM

Pardew has to go!!

582 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:51 PM

How many strikers do we have on the pitch?

583 Benji84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:51 PM

this is shit do they want to draw where is the passion.

584 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:51 PM

WHO WOULD EVER WANT TO JOIN THESE OVERPAID USELESS F**KS

585 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:52 PM

Why are we walking around the pitch ffs
Its like a benny hill sketch

586 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:52 PM

Pardew would struggle to manage a pub team fcuking discrace. Why do I bother

589 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:52 PM

Jesus Christ every time we get to half line we gift the ball to Fellaini

590 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:52 PM

If we dont get 2 new CBs we are finished

591 woolerbill // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:52 PM

We don’t need new players, we need somebody who knows how to make eleven players into a team. Everyone players are no better, just organised better.

592 Benji84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:52 PM

Shalo please retire you are pass it. Your legs are gone and you do stupid tackles and try to shoot from 30 yards coz you are to lazy and want the lime light.

593 DeanToon88 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:52 PM

all too easy for everton, we have thrown this game awa, we have so many poor players in this side once our main players are injured, everton are crap we should have taken three points from them but yet again we lose. fuming wit hthis shambles

594 colwell // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:53 PM

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

595 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:53 PM

9 defeats in 11. Give that man an 8 year contract

596 jimmysmith // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:53 PM

Maybe Anita brought a hex along with him. Seems as plauseable as anything else. Inexplicabe run.

597 Toon_Jock // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:53 PM

Our players are totally shattered/knackered

598 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:53 PM

I’m sure Anita is glad he joined this circus

599 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:53 PM

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck saaaaaake just give em another free kick

600 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:54 PM

anita shit ameobi shit williamson shit pardew fu*k you simple as

601 Benji84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:54 PM

dean toon have to agree too many poor players. I love it that Sammy and shalo want to shoot from 30 yards when there is 3 defenders in front of them

602 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:54 PM

We need a miracle

603 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:54 PM

Pardew out although that would throw all transfer business out the window. Nightmare situation. Relegation looms

604 Ben3arfa // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:54 PM

Shame on these scum players . shame on this scum manager . shame on he scum owner

605 geordiemacc // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:54 PM

Well we have built a team for the Championship so we,ll Be ok come summer.

606 One comment a day // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:54 PM

At least this time when we are relegated they will go down fighting!
Oh and thank f for the ACON get rid of that useless shite Tiote.

607 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

If we equalise, the stadium will erupt

608 Benji84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

look anita is not a bad player i feel he is still have an injury

609 niafron // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

Honnestly, i’m losing the faith.

Bonne soirée messieurs.

610 calvinho // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

Ameobi can’t play 90 mins. He just can’t hack it. And how is our squad stronger??? It’s not. We haven’t got strength in depth. We bring on Ranger, Bigi & Sammy. All 3 are championship players at best.

611 will.dawg // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

Come on then, lads, what’s Pardew’s excuse this week? Missing Demba Ba? Run out of steam again? Be creative!

612 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

This is Shocking shocking shocking….when will the rot stop?

613 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

Get out of our club your the reason we are getting humiliated every week that’s to Williamson Pardew and Ashley

614 Toon1978 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

Wa finished!

615 JazzMag // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:55 PM

Why is that monkey on sky sports wearing a suit?

616 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:56 PM

I am not going to blame Pardew for this (everyone bares a responsibility) but the players did not play to the strength of a 4-3-3…very static and hartly any pass and move which is why you play 4-3-3 in the first way

…the players led us down today!

617 noladonna // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:56 PM

9 defeats in 11 games hahaha what a joke

618 GeordieDan // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:56 PM

Very poor result yet again!

Thanks Demba Ba for leaving us in the shit. Why not hang around until after this game at least?

We practice all week with him playing up front by himself and the whole time HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO CHELSEA!!!!!!!!!

Sorry but I gave him the benefit before but what a twat.

Hope the grass isn’t greener you greedy arsehole great loyalty pal.

619 jesperfuglsang - captain of the lemon crew // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:56 PM

*way = place

620 Benji84 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

calvinho i totally hear you!!!! What sad about shola he could of been a super star but he just looks on the pitch so f****g lazy. I cant believe mangers love him so much over the years.

621 Cabaye04 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

please, please, please, Alan Pardew get players in!!! cus i want that to be the last time i see williamson and perch in our first 11

622 keeleytoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

My god this blog is crazy at times,
keep the faith and get behind the team. it hurts us all!

623 Nufc-83 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

Shola Williamson perch tiote all a disgrace and shouldn’t ever play for us again

624 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

Ba’s gonna be laughing his head off. I’m gonna go cry my self to sleeP

625 woolerbill // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

Please, please, pardew do not tell us about the positives. There were none and you team work is rubbish, please leave our club and take your coaches with you, maybe you and the coaches might want to take your badges again.

626 Blaydon-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

Embarrassing … Very poor when we make changes it just fcuks us up wy take Obertan off was an outlet and then we just hoof and hope ! Getting seriously worried now and I have the hump big time missus is not happy with me woke the bairn up !

627 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

Well what do you say about that?
Take out cisse marv and anita, and what are you left with?
8 idiots who didnt deserve to wear the shirt in that second half

628 spudzzz // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

here we go again…same old story….defence all over the shop

629 One comment a day // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:57 PM

ACON may save our season, Tiote is away for hopefully 6 weeks. This will cut out a goal a game against us, he is shit!

630 papattack // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

ameobis are so selfish, just try and score wonder goals all game or in sholas case flick on a header.

sholas good if we are losing and need to go direct if playing football doesnt work other than that not good enough.

631 IITianToon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

WOW Pardew wow:
1. Ba leaves and what do you do?? Play Shola upfront and Cisse out wide.
2. You take off a potent threat of ours in Obertan and put on a defnsive midfielder at 1-2 down.
3. You make every player change position in last 20 mins meaning we dont have a decent attempt even.

Hats off Mr Pardew you’re a joke. Your assistants like John Carver and Steve Stone are gobshite as well.

632 toonicle // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

Santon played like garbage today and couldn’t make a cross to save his mum’s life. Another good start to the game ends in depression. Padrs has no idea what to do with subs, just randomly sends kids out there and takes off the best performing players (Obertan) first. Disgrace.

633 BelfastMagpie // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

That was garbage

634 brighter // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

Bigi replace Obertan??
That was another f awesome decision by f Pardew.

635 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

I bet MA will dip into the transfer maeket and look for free agents as usual

636 Levi // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

WHAT A DISGRACE!

we have 11 great players however when they get a few injuries the ones who come in to cover play for them self not the team. thats not how you earn a starting place! TO MANY PLAYERS THINK IF WE ARE GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS RUT IT HAS TO BE THEM THAT DOES IT

637 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

come on pardew whats your excuse?!!! tired? why dont you just tell the truth that most of those pieces of sh*t you play every week wouldn’t get there game in league 2!!!!!! FU**ING AMEOBI UP FRONT ON HIS OWN WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO KID!!!!!!

638 calvinho // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:58 PM

Ameobi playing is just saying it all. We hoof it every time. And he fouls…every time. Cisse should’ve been through the middle with obertan & Marv either side. Pardew is to blame.

639 Ben3arfa // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:59 PM

the only greedy asshole is ashley and his greek dell boy . their yes man (Pardew) has run of tricks

640 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:59 PM

Best part of the game was the first 2 mins

641 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:59 PM

If I managed this team I would truely be a tactical genious and study our opponents to an extent where we have adopted it in the training ground. Pardew is not a manager he is headless chicken. 4-2-3-1 was Hoof ball, 4-3-3 was hoof ball. Whole game today was based around shola ameobi. You know what nothing is going to change, unless some very rich long desired fan buys NUFC from that fat eating crap owner and sacked the director along with the manager.

642 IndonesiaToon // Jan 2, 2013 at 9:59 PM

the match starts 3 a.m in Indonesia… and it’s working day in the morning… don’t know why i keep on watching this club misery…

643 jimiley // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:00 PM

9 defeats in 11 games must be an all time NUFC record. Pardew will stay regardless of the results so we have to get behind him and the team. Mike ashleys youth policy. One dud owner. But lets hear from Mashleys supporters now and all the good he is doing the club.

644 GeordieDan // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:00 PM

Our options on the bench tonight were non-existant.

This is why we NEED depth-we NEED 3-4 new players AND that’s on top of replacing those going out.

No more excuses, no more bullshit just support the team you own and stop wheeling your little rat/ferret cross-breed, Lambiarse, you fat greedy bastard Ashley!

645 matthewjai // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:01 PM

i’d rather see young players like campell and streete playing. Williamson can’t even control the ball and Ameobi..i run out of words describing him

646 bobby vee // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:01 PM

Forget the after match press farce Pardew! JUST GO!!

647 coccolini // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:01 PM

I always hate coming on here after a game. Everyone chill the f**k down! Its not Pardew’s fault, did you see the bench? I will go out on a limb and say, after mid February we will not be losing many games.

Give Pardew a break, give the players a break.

648 ToonDownSouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:01 PM

Give it up with all the Pardew Out rubbish. It’s not going to happen. I’d bet absolutely anything on that.

649 PontiusLee // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:01 PM

im about done this season…
the lack in effort and creativity in our current players and our coaching staff is laughable.
changes need to come now. or we will be relegated.

(not to mention that all the refs hate us and call the stupidest fouls against us)

650 Luke-A-Like // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:01 PM

I admire what Alan Pardew did last season and don’t entirely blame him but why when we have Ba out the squad would you play Cisse on the right and shitty Ameobi down the middle? I’m saying Pardew out for the first time! Dont see why Debuchy would sign after seeing that shit! The ball was in the air more than it was on the floor!

651 Big Pappa Cissé // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:01 PM

Looks like we are a small club in the north east afterall, we at least under Ashley and Pardew. This transfer window is the most important in a long time and we need to bring players in

652 Marty-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:02 PM

We’re at home and created very little in comparison to them!!
If we end up in the drop zone this will be difficult to get out of.
The lads look drained,their heads are down.
Felliani shouldn’t have been on the pitch,he shoulda been out or at least 6 games.
AP will have to play the young lads in the cup as we just can’t give it a go,the concentration has got to be on the league.
Start Campbell and Ranger,Sammy,Abeid and the likes

I’m really peed off now

653 Levi // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:02 PM

no doubt in all the interviews the reason will be having ba taken away from him hours before a game. enough excuses and get some points. I HONESTLY DONT WANT PARDEW SACKED but what owner gives their manager a fuucking 8 year contract

654 Beattie25 // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:02 PM

Why take off Obertan and play 4-4-2 with 4 fcuking central midfielders?

Nutjob. Sack him!!!!

655 nufcursed // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:02 PM

sammy ameobi was the only player who caused some danger so all you critisizing him sht up!
it’s players like williamson, tiote, shola,… that make us poor!
pardew makes the worst substitutions he’s no tactical genius
new manager, new striker , (new) playmaker, new central defender and we’ll be fine.

656 Crawfordladd17 // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:02 PM

Rubbish, rubbish absolute rubbish. Apart from Fellani, Baines and Pienaar Everton aren’t a good side, yea ok Jag is decent as is Jealvic, but the rest poo. Us Cabaye, and Ben Arfa only who are both injured,and the rest who are good, ie Colo, Krul, Santon, Tiote, and Cisse when they actually give a f*ck. Marveaux and Anita getting better, not quite there yet. We really need a striker, a centre back and a midfielder, as well as Debuchy. I actually though we would win, out of form Norwich next we could win, Reading at home a win and Villa would are as bad as QPR could win, 4 in a row, but my best hope is a back to back, half of the playersdont

657 gorgonzola ( former Pecorino former to gorgonzola) // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:03 PM

I think when I saw Ameobi ahead of Cisse up front it was not a good sign.

Tiote is in bad form. We are missing HBA badly there is 0 creativity.
I think this manager is not good for us. I feel he is not a bad manager but not for us. What we need is a discipline manager. Somebody like Lother Matthaus.

A German manager…make the team work like a team. Pardew has basically imploded ever since we got a bad run.

I think 60% of the blame is Ashley fro not strengthening this squad in the perfect time last season.

Santon today has disappointed me hugely. Its one having debuchy but what Santon did today was piss away 2 points. all he had to do was square the ball.

Shola is a sub nothing more. Guti should also not play for us he is slow and a frustration. To me Colo has completely lost form.

Its very obvious Willo should he shipped, so does simmo, Colo needs to be thrashed. Tiote dropped for a few games.

If we dont get 2 quality CBs I think we will get relegated.

658 Qatar NUFC fan // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:03 PM

659 RonVanDam // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:03 PM

Lets all get our 2011-2012 season dvd and watch it again and again until this season is over and hopefully avoid relegation

660 TurkishFan101 // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:03 PM

@coccolini Not Pardwhos fault? Are you kidding me? So you saying its not him that decides who plays, what formation, what tactics, hoof ball or ground ball, last 5 minutes and sub on, poor tactical subs. ITS THE MANAGERS fault, ALLOT OF FANS ARE WORKING HARD TO GET PAID AND WATCH THE CLUB THAT THEY LOVE SO NO ONE HAS AN EXCUSE TO SAY ITS NOT THE MANAGERS FAULT CAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY IS. IF WE HAD DAVID MOYES YOU WOULD STILL SAY THE SAME THING? I dont think so.

661 lesh // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:03 PM

Just how long have we known that Ba’d be on his bike and the best we have are Shola, bless him, and Ranger to fall back on.

Ashley, get rid of Llambias and get someone in who knows about footbal and extert some influence on your investment – carry on as we are, and it’s down the pan!!.

662 Kyo // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:03 PM

Yep.

Pardew out.

We’re going to appoint Steve Kean. LOL

663 Ketsbaia9 // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:03 PM

We need 3 centre-backs, 1 wingback, 1 right-winger, 1 central midfielder and 3 strikers. Thought Sammi Ameobi did ok when he came on. Going to have to give man of the match to Marveaux or Anita.

664 GeordieDan // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:04 PM

On this occasion I have to agree that Pardew’s tactics were absolutely shocking tonight.

Cisse should have played central and those ridiculous subs at the end meaning our entire team structure changed completely was madness-very worrying.

665 Klam3r // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:04 PM

Pardew have lost it. I will not back him one more minute before he learns from his mistakes. The guy is a poor manager, and clearly can’t man manage the squad. So many so called top players are underperforming, and that’s not the players fault.

Starting Cisse on the wing… What a disgrace! He should be in the box all the time. The man is a world class poacher, and Pardew uses him as a winger? Pathetic! Got a poacher goal today, probably used as a winger next match too.

Pardew out! I’ll gladly pay £1.000 out of my own pockets to get rid of him. And yes… even with Ashley and Lameass as owner/director i think we can do way better than pardew as coach.

666 toonarmydownsouth // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:04 PM

Collocini
I agree you cant blame pardew for a deplited squad but 8 of the 11 on the pitch were a fcuking disgrace tonight

667 TOONARMY4LIFE // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:04 PM

ROBERTO DI MATTEO ANYONE?

668 YorkshiresFinestGeordie // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:05 PM

Here’s the plan of action:

Sack Padrew, bring in shearer
Sell tiote, ranger, Jonas, willo
Bring in sissokho, sakho, guidetti, debuchy, diame
Play Cisse as lone striker
And finally GIVE SANTON A BIG KICK UP THE BACK SIDE THE CHUFFING ARS* HOLE

and then hopefully we don’t get relegated

669 nufcursed // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:05 PM

gorgonzola spot on!
i agree with everything except tioté
i think we should sell him now he’s still valued a lot cause his passing game is horrible and every game he makes dirty fouls. he’s the opposite of fair play!

670 Indian Magpie // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:06 PM

All Hoofing

Barely saw marveaux in the second half.

671 t00ntime // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:06 PM

Lets be honest we didnt perform that bad. Everton were just as bad as us.
If santon passed cisse wud of scored.
If the ref wasnt a scouser, we wud of had a pen (2-0)+hetinga yellow
Fellani dived and got FK which went in.
Heintinga got a yellow which shud of been his second.
Hetinga took out ranger and was the last man, yet ranger gt the blame.

The ref destroyed the game, but we didnt deserve to win we desered a draw we were both sh1t. AP lost ba last minute, wait till norwich
Cabaye+debuchy+Staylor+cisse as ST

Judge him after that

672 Spreadthetoon // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:06 PM

Reversion of -ve hoofball! Well done AP…..you have officially now won the final nail in your coffin……does it matter who we sign…tbf we are not attractive…..lost 9 in 11………..that’s got relegation written all over it…….don’t think MA’s got the dough to save us………….we need minimum a 2 RBs 2CBs 1 Winger, 2 Striker……………….oh whats the point the fat bastard never listens….Pardew will stick by his selection…..blame it on Ba…..fcuk off you lost 9 in 11!

673 lucasnufc // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:07 PM

Kyo. Steve Kean great shout. Lets get terry Connor as his assistant and sign Conor sammon!

674 NUFCarter // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:07 PM

Santon worse display this season and a very greedy player. Perch can’t play RB to save his life Williamson was bull as usual. Colo what is happening to you? Tiote to many fouls committed another yellow loses the ball and produced some shocking passes obertan was quite again but when on the ball he looked a threat as did marveaux but didn’t get the ball as much as he did against arsenal due to a poor defence Anita looks to set up the attacks but couldn’t happen when ameobi was playing CM he was shocking shot when he saw the goal and slowed down attacks only good at bringing other players on to the attack but that didn’t work neither. Cisse wanted much more commited stupid fouls and should of scored more bigi didn’t see much of him made a stupid decision to shoot at the wrong time and it was abysmal sammy was Great at times making some good runs but always does to much maybe to the fact he had no support. Krul was class but should of done better with babes free kick. Ranger will never be a premier league and can never see him scoring in a toon shirt.

675 papattack // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:07 PM

im not happy but no manager would be winning any games with our current players who are available, when we have everyone back and a couple in things will improve but the facts are that our squad is too small and we’ve suffered because of it.

thats not pardews fault.

we need leaders and characters and we dont have any except for steven taylor

676 knottsy82 // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:08 PM

f**k right off give pardew a break he’s playing that sssssssssslllllllllllllloooooowwwwwwwwwwwww kick the ball in the stand then pull a dopey who am i playing for look on his face idiot up front on his own when 50’000 fans can clearly see how useless he is AND YOU SAY GIVE HIM A BREAK? wow

677 soundoid // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:09 PM

Some perspective is needed.

We are in a relegation battle.

It’s one we will win.

Hello Newcastle fan I’m from qatar and I support Newcastle since 1864 I don’t know why I support this team so f******k me and f*****k me and f*****k me if I support this team again
Good bye

680 YorkshiresFinestGeordie // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:11 PM

I think if he didn’t get an 8 year contract, he would have been out just after arsenal game

681 Rotonda heights // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:11 PM

Positives

Marveaux, Anita and Sammi’s cameo.

Negatives.

With someone as slow as Willo, you have to play a sweeper

Why was Ameobi left on so long while we had a second half ”hoof fest” and got over-run in midfield again

Why the hell didn’t Santon square it for a Cisse tap in?

Why does Pardew always do the opposite of what you want him to do?

At West Ham Pardew had the record of the worst losing streak in their history. I think he’s just broken that record here.

I told people Pardew will only take us one way and for those who keep saying we are too good to go down need a reality check. I think Pardew is getting all out of excuses and more worryingly doesn’t seem to have the desire any more.

682 Blaydon-Toon // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:12 PM

The only saving grace is QPR and Reading and one other going down Wigan and villa are poor lets hope we can string a few wins together and get some quality on board !

683 Jayden // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:12 PM

RIGHT. We now have a week and a half until the next Premier League game. That is long enough to get Debuchy in sync and starting, get Tayls and Cabs up to speed, and work on bringing 1 or 2 in. We have an easier streak coming up, where we can rack up some points and get our heads screwed on again. Calm down fella’s, now is not the time for fear, that comes later.

684 Munster Mag // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:13 PM

Unbelieveable. Can the people who supported Pardew please now put their hands up and say ” I was wrong” . I for one thought he was a good manager ( last season ) but he is truly awful. And incidentally I have been telling you mugs that Santon cant defend since he arrived and he is showing that at least i know how to spot a player, unlike a manager. I was hoodwinked. Pardew was chosen WITHOUT INTERVIEW BECAUSE HE IS A GAMBLING CLIENT OF MA’s CASINO. Shocker. I feel sorry for all the quality players he has duped with his slick cockneye rubbish – eg Anita and Cabaye. His substitutons were inept and he has tactically NO IDEA. Applause to Catchy and Toonbano for being so correct. Ibiza mate, time to own up, like me.

685 Tsunki // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:13 PM

When the officiating is as poor and biased as that you need to make your own luck. Doesnt help having mackems and scousers trying to get tiote sent off from the studio after he is being pulled around waltz style by anichebe. And the ‘foul’ on Fellaini which made his non-contact leg fold was pathetic. It just goes to show when things go bad, everything rolls away from you.

BUT – The second half was tripe. Obertan going off played into Anichebe coming on, Santon was at fault for their winner simple and straightforward, and he is being stretched now to breaking point. The right hand side was so bad I almost cried for Simpson to be dragged on. The hoofing upfield came right back into our game, but with shola upfront thats all I could see happening. Although theres a lot of bleating about cisse being wide I cant see what else could be done with that team. It is not a full PL team, and the bench was virtually academy. Pardew cant be blamed for not being able to make such a weak side play well. We have a very poor thin squad with almost different personnel each week and only returning first teamers will help us. roll on feb.

686 nufc debo // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:14 PM

Thought Marv, Anita……actually that’s about the only standouts! Santon was very poor, why the f did he not square it to Cisse, must’ve been lookin a birthday goal! Our bench is shockingly understrength and it showed this evening. Shola upfront was a mistake did feck all except foul, obertan f or bigi was a mistake he seems to know whats to do in the final 3rd now! Anyhow wr can all come on here and bitch and moan but we need to support the lads. The second half of this season will be better than the first

But that won’t be hard!!!

687 geordiemacc // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:15 PM

All this talk about us being a force again. Is complete cod shit. Basically we Will Be stronger (cant get any weaker) but no new faces coming in so its pardew spyting off about the return of Ben arfa, the creative flair of Cabaye, Steven Taylor bolstering the defence. Basically the same speile we hear week in week out. As a business man fat mike should understand one of the fundamentals of business. “you need to spend money to make money”. Now dig deep you greedy get.

What about avram grant, he doesn’t do too bad with relegation battles and maybe Iian dowie as his assistant.

If pardews answer is to put shola on and knock it long, then we are fucked. Cisse shudda been up fron wi oba and marv playing off him, but no he was out on the right for large periods of the game.
I truly believe we should cash in on tiote as he is becoming a true liability, he loses possesion all the time and is constantly giving free kicks away with his stupidity. He cant stick to his position and looks like a rabbit in the headlights when anyone with a bit pace runs at him.
We are desperately short on confidence and we must start to turn the corner or we will go down. Using injuries as a excuse is getting thin now, only hba and cabs really missing tnite from our strongest 11, maybe taylor too.
No spark, creativity, movement or desire. Above all no bottle!
Pards needs to spend to get us out or get out himself.

Keep the faith

Fact is we had chances. I don’t usually criticise the manager as i am coming from a fan perspective but where is the sense in playing cisse wide right all his chances came from the box today, he is a box shooter?
Got to start picking up points, qpr beat chelsea and their confidence is up.

692 Bigi28 // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:17 PM

The ball retention was shocking tonight. We are missing a leader in the middle of the park. 4 signings is a must if we want to stay in the league.

693 Newcastle for alltid // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:19 PM

This is just embarassing. I think our attacking play is ok, nothing more. Why we started Shola instead of Cissè as the lone striker is beyond me, and must feel like a severe punch in the face for Cissè. Don’t get me wrong, I like Shola as an impact sub, and he seems to handle the Europa League level well. As a starter in PL, he just doesn’t cut it. He’s strong, comitted, but just lacks the smartness and skill needed. He gets on to a lot of flicks, but they mostly seem to slip of his head, going wayward. Other than that, I think we create enough offensively when we’re allowed to go forward. With Cabaye and Ben Arfa and (hopefully) a new winger/pacey striker, we should be able to score goals.

Defensively is where we struggle, and for me, it starts in the midfield where Tiote, as aggressive and composed as he is, is too sloppy and misplaced. He would be best if he could just lay deep and protect the back four having a more “fixed” position as an anchor. Now he’s too often overrun and overplayed higher up the pitch.

The defense itself is just not good enough at the moment. With Debuchy in mind, I won’t say too much about Perch since he’s not out first choice RB, but he really struggles with both his positioning and passing. He is better in a CM role in tough, physical matches. Coloccini is a good player, but seems to be affected by the poor players around him. Give him a good CB partner, and he’ll be rock solid, we’ve seen it before. Williamson, as I’ve said a thousand times before, is utter useless. He plays in a league which is 1-2 times his level. He looks nervous everytime he gets the ball, he’s hopeless with the ball, he’s sh1t passing the ball. He’s just completely out of his depth as a player. I also want to critisize Santon, as he’s far too poor defending. He might be a bright spark offensively at times, but his tackles and clearances are far from what to expect by a PL defender. He fits a team playing a back three better, where he can occupy a wingback IMO. I say sell him,

Everybsodys mad and rightly so cos we getting beat every week and we don’t like it. I’m 41 and can remember from my early days at the temple that guy from the east stand that that used to make that zulu noise and what a memory for a kid if u know what I’m talking about. The leazes, scoreboard, getting flung about in the mad corner, gazzas last game at forest and the pitch invasion that followed or peter b’s magic u can take what u want and I have loads more. Fooking chill out and support the boys through thick and thin

696 GeordieDan // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:23 PM

Pardew’s poor tactics tonight does NOT mean we should be getting rid.

Who else would Ashley bring in you idiots! WHO????

It would be some absolute moron like Steve Kean and that would be so much better wouldnt it!

Tonight he got it wrong but so many of our players did as well.

They’re all terrified of losing now and Ba leaving all of us in the shit has not helped one bit.

As I said earlier after giving the guy massive benefit of the doubt I can categorically agree that Ba is now officially a greedy, disloyal, mercenary twat.

Cheers mate. Hope London eats you alive

700 GeordieDan // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:31 PM

Pardew was blatantly left in a position by Ba where he thought that since he’s been having Cisse practice for weeks as a right-hand forward (for which I have no idea) he should leave him there and just replace like for like (yeah right)with Shola filling in.

Very poor decision.

Remy in, Cisse central. Simple as that.

701 Munster Mag // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:36 PM

Tsunki, if you think that is a weak team you simply have no idea about football. Everton are good, but our useless manager cant get a team with Marv, Colo, Krul, Anita, Cisse to compete and that is the issue. I would gladly sacrifice any more signings to have that useless manager paid off.

702 Munster Mag // Jan 2, 2013 at 10:39 PM

Geordie Dan, you scream idiots at us because we want a better manager thatn this guy. That takes some arrogance. There are better managers out there, many employed. Believe me, we can do miles better than this. Tonite I officially lost it with Pardew- I have supported him since he came here. I would honestly rather pay him off that sign players if thats what it takes. We have enough good players to stay up. And then start next season with a proper manager who suits these players.

703 ITUNDERASHELL // Jan 3, 2013 at 12:02 AM

The damage was done by Ashley when he saw fit to withold investment last summer, hence the bewilderment of many of our team, including Ba.
Pardew has had to juggle with disenchanted players and a small squad, he has also lost control of team affairs judging by his team formation today.
I always thought Pardew knew (judging by the continentals brought into our team) he would eventually adopt a continental style of football and play 4-3-3 with all players comfortable on the ball.
I now believe Pardew has lost sight of this vision although his scouts are trying to builda to the blueprint originally set them.
I feel sorry for Pardew because I think he bought into that vision but was left in a position where players were questioning the project and some losing faith and therefore a divided playing staff.
Ba hasn’t helped by deciding to jump ship, but I doubt he will have sleepless nights over it.
Pardew needed to make a decision and deadline for Ba to sign a new contract or he would be out of the team, period and Shola should have been allowed to play for Nigeria with replacements genuinely lined up to strenghten the team.
The real players can see the club is showing lack of ambition and want to move quickly to a continental style of football as mentioed above and do not want to be part of a club moving backwards as you always do if not improving.
Ashley has got a battle on his hands now, you may have lost your manager due failing to invest and have left your manager isolated with frustrated players demanding continental development.
Pardew now may be a good time to grow some ba++s and tell your boss to put up or I resign, at least you will retain your dignity.

‘Alan works on methods of how to avoid losing a game, and I work on how we can win it’. Thats a quote from John Carver.
Well I am gonna have a go.
1. Chieck Tiote. Stop trying to launch everything and everyone around you and concentrate on what we signed you for. Winning the BALL. And when you have done that, dont give it away again so easily.
2. Danny Simpson. Start house hunting at places like Reading, Aston Villa or Stoke, because just like ‘England’s’ Danny Guthrie, you seem to think you are a Premier League footballer. Which you clearly are not.
3. Mike Williamson. As above, but at Hull, Coventry or Wolves.
5. Shola Ameobi. You are built like a super heavyweight boxer, start using your physical presence to win the ball, not commit endless fouls all over the pitch because you are so slow and clumsy.
6. Alan Pardew. Square pegs fit much better in square holes you retard. if you want a winger, go and buy one, Cisse is a striker, and can only score from a wing position once in a lifetime, and we have already seen it at Stamford Bridge.
7. Demba Ba. Good luck on your move, and welcome to the Sebastian Bassong / Michael Owen / Silvain Distin club of greedy mercenary disloyal bstards. I hope you break your knee in your first game.

Its easy this coaching lark………
